ABC’s ‘Nightline’ #2 Last Week Despite Strong Ratings

ABC’s ‘Nightline” had its best Total Viewer average in nearly a year last week, but it still wasn’t enough to maintain the program’s first-place streak against CBS’ “Late Show” and NBC’s “Tonight” show. David Letterman, now in the news for quite a different matter, had one of his strongest ratings weeks in some time and his weekly average was up 30% from the same week last year. Of course, it always helps to have President Obama and President Clinton come by your show the same week.
